“I want to give more than 5 stars! Amazing food low in price, good portions, really helpful staff. We had the naturally gluten-free Mofongo and prawns beef, etc. Delicious! Thank you so much!”

“If you’re looking for an authentic Puerto Rican dining experience in a beautiful outdoor setting, this restaurant is an absolute gem! The food was incredibly flavorful — every bite was a true taste of the island, from the perfectly seasoned dishes to the fresh ingredients that made everything pop. Our waitress, Mileidy, provided top-of-the-line service — attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect, even taking the time to recommend local spots for sightseeing and picture-taking. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, the prices fair, and the portions generous — truly bueno, bonito y barato, as we say in Puerto Rico. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting great food, amazing service, and that warm Puerto Rican hospitality!”

“(Posted a negative review for the another place here before - apologies for that!) Sabor y Rumba is a small eatery inside a building - they have a small sign on the street that says "Comida criolla" - when you see it just go in and walk through a corridor till you come to a small courtyard with shops around it. This restaurant is run by a charming young lady, who will make you feel like a guest in her own home. We went on a day that was supposed to be a holiday but, luckily for us, she was open. We ordered a couple of dishes, received them soon and started. Very tasty and full of flavor. A few minutes later, the owner brought out a bowl of some pasta that she had cooked for herself, just to give us a taste. That was so sweet of her. As for the atmosphere, the courtyard is a charming place, surrounded with plants and filled with umbrellas and tables. Being a holiday there weren't many people around but I can see it as a bustling place on a regular day. The cost was under $20 for the two of us and the food was definitely worth it. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, please do visit.”

“Straight off the bat the food is authentic and tasty. Plenty of food and friendly staff. I give it 5 stars on the food. The other part of the review goes towards the owner of the building: they could thrive if they painted the inside of this building. I would do bright colors and big murals, warm light and lots of tropical plants. I give 2 stars on the atmosphere because it lacks a lot.”
